Nice work!
I'm more of a master of measure once, cut once, twice, three times. Then find out I cut it too short, but glue it on anyway. Painting the letters will be fine, they are the same color as the panel.

That is some amazing work!!

You have alot of patience as well as amazing skill. Great job man, great job. I hope you put it on the trail, the first scratch will hurt but it looks like it's begging to be run!

I need to show that statement to my girlfriend. She says I have no patience. Thank you though. I'm going to drive it for sure, this ain't no static model. However, I will go easy on it:

Let's put it this way, I have more time than patience.



Radiator painted and installed


Headlight bezels installed


All the rear fiddly bits mounted


My smallest cut out styrene letters yet. I don't know if I will be running this plate or not. Just wanted see if I could pull it off.
